Counselling, Occupational Therapy, Art Therapy and Social Groups
Reravel is a neuroqueer-centred allied health practice on Brisbane’s northside. Our rooms are in North Lakes, and most of the people we see in person come from Moreton Bay and the northern Brisbane suburbs. Counselling and Occupational Therapy are also available by telehealth anywhere in Australia, so you don’t need to be local to work with us. We’re a registered NDIS provider, and Medicare and private health fund rebates apply to some of our services, depending on who you see.

Specialist support for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent and disabled communities
Reravel specialises in working with queer, trans and gender diverse people, and with disabled and neurodivergent young people and adults. Our practitioners are part of these communities too. We know it can be hard to ask for support or start with a new therapist, especially if health professionals haven’t always got it right for you before, and we see people from all sorts of backgrounds.
- Queerness, sexuality, gender, and neuroqueer experiences
- ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence
- Complex disability support needs, including chronic illness, burnout, trauma, and co-occurring physical and cognitive disabilities
- Diverse relationships: neurodiverse couples and families, polyamorous and ENM relationships, kink relationship structures, caregiving relationships
- Religious trauma and family trauma related to high-control environments, coming out, stigma, and discrimination
- Caregiving experiences, including parenting, intra-partner caring, support work, and chronic illness
- Practitioners and allied health professionals from LGBTQIA+, disability, and neurodiversity communities
Person-centred care
Reravel are an experienced team who have worked with a wide range of people over the years, and we are highly person-centred in our approach to your care. Early sessions are mostly about getting to know you and what’s important to you, from pets and loved ones to identity, culture and the things you’re passionate about, and it’s okay if you’re not sure yet what you’d like to focus on. We check in regularly to make sure what we’re doing is actually helping, and adjust as we go, sometimes using formal measures (for example, for NDIS or Medicare sessions).
Neuroqueer-centred practice
We are inclusive, open-minded, non-judgemental, and supportive of your identities, sexuality, relationships, and family structures. We’re neurodiversity-affirming and gender-affirming, and that shows up in the practical things. Our North Lakes rooms have soft, natural lighting you can adjust (no bright white lights), fidgets in every room, windows with a leafy outlook, and no scents. There’s lo-fi music you can turn off, and seating that suits larger bodies, or you can lie down if that’s more comfortable. You choose whether we contact you by text, email or phone, and sessions can be longer, use AAC or other communication supports, or include a support person.
Care beyond the therapy room
Therapy doesn’t happen in a vacuum, so we’ll want to know about the people and pets, places and passions in your life. If you’d like more support or connection, we can link you in with people we know and work with: NDIS support coordinators and support workers, queer community groups and activities (from festivals to community sport and rec groups), and autism-specific organisations and advocacy groups.
How we work with young people
When we support young people, we don’t just see them for an hour and send them back to their families and regular lives. We know that friends, families, activities and schools are really important for teenagers, so parents and carers are part of the work in a way that suits the young person’s age: joint sessions, separate parent support sessions or scheduled family check-ins. For older teens, we’ll talk together at the outset about how we’ll stay connected with parents, school or other supports.
